Express Entry employer requirement

[Karanbir29]

I’m getting a job offer from a employer who only only has one employee which would be me. Would I be eligible to apply for express entry after one year and what are the requirements that an employer would need to fulfill so that their employees can file permanent residency under express entry.

After 1 yr of full time employment in Canada you will become eligible to apply under CEC stream of Express Entry.

You have to ensure that its a full-time job (35 hrs a week). Make sure that the company is registered so that ircc can verify it. At the end of one year you have to get a reference letter from your employer in the format prescribed by ircc.

Ideally, the letter should

• Be written on company letterhead
• Be signed by the responsible officer/supervisor
• Have the responsible officer/supervisor’s name and job title printed beneath the signature
• Include the company’s contact information
• Be stamped with the company’s official seal (if applicable)
• If possible, have the business card of the person signing it attached

The letter should include

• Your official job title
• The dates of your employment
• Your salary per week
• Your average hours per week
• A detailed list of your employment duties.
